2001 Press Releases

Washington, DC, May 7, 2001 - The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) will
combine its Corporate Aviation Management Conference and Maintenance Management Conference
into a single event called the NBAA Leadership Conference. The first Leadership Conference
will be held April 23 to 25, 2002, at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville.

In order to focus on Leadership Conference planning, NBAA has decided to cancel its 16th
Annual Maintenance Management Conference and associated events, originally scheduled for this
August in Anaheim. Likewise, the Corporate Aviation Management Conference scheduled for February
2002 in Nashville has been cancelled since it is being replaced by the Leadership Conference
in April 2002.

Like the management and maintenance events it will replace, the new NBAA Leadership Conference
will offer the latest information on corporate aviation management and maintenance topics,
such as attracting and retaining qualified flight department members, personnel management,
cost accounting, record keeping, human factors and FAA Regulations.

that is about half the gross domestic product — and employ more than 19 million people
worldwide. The NBAA Annual Meeting & Convention is the world's largest display of civil
